These Open 70's are basically a surboard with sails ?

"Pirates" at dock. Notice the keel raised high.

Two of the "fast cats".

I imagine that the pile of sails on the foredeck might be an even trade for a nice IP !!

Cisne Branco. a Brazilian training ship. about four years old.

Cisne Branco means "White Swan"

No bosun's chair needed for this long climb up Cisne Branco's mast

Another beautiful bow on a tall ship.

Reuben (380 #2) lives in the background building.

"Pirate's" crew a little lazy by not raising the windard of the twin keels.

Amazing use of high tech battens to gain sail area.

catamaran displays incredible speed (and rooster tail) in about 10 knots of wind.

Free rides each day on the "Blo Karts". They will go scary fast.
